This is a laptop with a tiny fan and 53º C while processor is idle is |
2 |
understandable since cooler is on passive mode |
3 |
most of time. But 73º C looks way too much for me. |
4 |
this for me seems the thermal zone, and not the core temperature... |
5 |
anyway, install a monitoring daemon (kima for kde is very light/good and |
6 |
integrates into the kicker) or any other like ksensors or others (i don't |
7 |
know the gnome ones since i completely dislike gnome but there are a lot of |
8 |
superkaramba widgets to do this) and see there your effective temp. |
9 |
there you should see: |
10 |
the core temp. mine turion 64 single core go from 30-35° idle to 60-65° C |
11 |
when at max speed and max load. |
12 |
the thermal goes from 58° when the fan starts to 75° when the processor goes |
13 |
in passive mode decreasing speed for avoiding overheating problems. at 105 |
14 |
it shuts down. |
15 |
now, i've heard that dualcores can have a temp of 5 to 10° higher than the |
16 |
single cores, but i don't know if this is really true. |
17 |
anyway, how do you know that that 2 devices are effectively the processor?! |
18 |
your problem is that acpi doesn't get the processor states. if it doesn't |
19 |
provide you with trip points in /proc/acpi/thermal/thrmx/trip_points then |
20 |
you have an acpi problem. this may be caused by bios or by wrong kernel |
21 |
config. |
22 |
make sure that your thermal is compiled and started and that your bios is ok |
23 |
reading and doing this: |
24 |
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Fix_Common_ACPI_Problems |
25 |
the steps needed are the ones till you recompile the dsdt and see if the |
26 |
compiler raises errors. if it does then you might have a bios problem. try |
27 |
to fix it according the infos there and recompile. |
28 |
if the bios is ok or the fixed one doesn't make the processor work with the |
29 |
latest kernel then search on the kernel.org the acpi bugzilla or the mailing |
30 |
list and report there your problem. they could help you fix it or they could |
31 |
patch the actual acpi to make this work. |
32 |
if you have an acer notebook, this might be the problem, since i've |
33 |
encountered many acer laptops that don't read the thermal correctly. |
